For you to create a photo that looks more like this one:

Instead of having the newborn baby laying down on the floor when you photograph:Place some soft towels and small pillows in the bucket and have it stand up right. Create a support for the baby to sit up by filling it with rolled up small towels and cloth.

On the upper side of the bucket: Add extra towels under a beautiful cloth. This will be for the baby to place his/her head and arm.

It will be best to attempt this with a very young baby who may be sleepy or sleeping. Move the child slowly so not to wake them up.

There is another possibility and that would be to add the baby in Photoshop. That would require taking several photographs and putting them together.

My idea is to show you some simple solutions to create some fun baby photographs.

When I show you a photograph there will be many ways to attempt to do this. I try to take into consideration the child’s safety (super important!) and I am taking into consideration how to do this and have fun. Minimize the frustration level by keeping it nice and simple.

1 When you photograph newborn babies you need to be so attentive the whole time. The newborn baby needs to be comfortable at all times.

2 The room temperature needs to be warm so that the baby’s skin color does not change. Chance are that this may be too warm for anybody else!

3 The best thing to do is to have a second person watching the baby while you photograph.
